Now a mechanic and bike killer at a BMW motorcycle specilists dealing in new and used BMW parts and bikes.

Bit safer than the last 20 odd years as a motorcycle courier or Landrover Tech.

If you have a skill, (such as DIY or decorating etc) that isn't  your main job, and you'd be willing to trade with another member please let us know.
I once got a door shaved,  (after having a carpet fitted) in exchange for a meal that I cooked. Yes, he's  still alive!

I'm a roadie/crew, but also a qualified bike mechanic. I don't do that for a living cos I can't be bothered working on scooters or Chinese bikes that break bolts and chew up nuts as soon as you look at them, and changing brake pads and oil/filters on proper bikes doesn't appeal to me either. That's the long version,the short version is I just can't do the 9 to 5. Let alone want to.... 

I was a despatch rider in London on and off for 15 years too. It isn't really a job though, it's more of a way of life. When I got fed up with that I went back to the music industry, and when I got fed up with that I went back to despatch riding. A lot of the time I was doing both. That's basically all I've done since leaving school. Here endeth my life story 
                                                                                                                                                                             

Cornholio, your post made me think of this ....



and yes, it does show my age, the fact that I can remember it!

I'm a Designer - Industrial design and mechanical design. I also have a workshop with milling machine, lathe, surface grinder, CNC mill, and other bits and pieces.                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm a DJ specialising more on the Motown and Northern Soul side of things. I've also done a good few Reggae, Ska and Punk gigs but the Soul gigs are more popular in my area.                                                                                                                                                                              

I am a natural artist and very good at anything creative . I can work in pretty much any materials including wood , metal and ceramic . I originally worked as a potter , now I mainly do portraits and illustration . I have designed and built kilns , workshops , wooden furniture and can turn my hand to anything practical as well as imaginative. Also worked in garden design and construction . When not doing art work I work self employed as a garden handyman , fencing , paving , pergolas , walls etc. As I have a van I am always happy to help transport stuff if anybody needs a hand .
Forgot - am a good photographer and cooking aint bad either - worked as cook in old peoples home some years back .
Hope any of this may be of help to anyone .
